Agree with Mike, but you'll never get "true" colour using Ha and O3 alone. For a start, you'll never see much, if anything, of the reflection components in a neb or even the subtle red & blue hues that are often present ... not to mention colourless stars.
In any case, you can give your HOO shot a more RGB palette look by using the selective colour and colour balance tools in Photoshop. A
very quick tinker using only those tools (plus masking) yielded the result below - hope you don't mind. I'd call this an RGB-like image (except for the stars). You should be able to do better than this having the raw data to play with.
